Schnuck Markets has opened a Schnucks Express store at 111 South Providence Road in Columbia, Missouri.
Schnucks Express features a separate entrance but is also connected to EatWell, A Natural Food Store by Schnucks. The store offers customers a grocery experience with a focus on customer favorites that are available at traditional Schnucks stores.
“After listening to our customers’ feedback, we’ve learned that they enjoy the natural and organic offerings available at EatWell but also are seeking the convenience of conventional grocery items,” said David Isinghood, senior director of EatWell/health and wellness.
“We invite our customers to stop in and see both the expanded selection of traditional customer favorites, as well as the enhanced shopping experience of the natural and ‘Good For You’ items.”
Schnucks Express occupies 11,000 square feet of the 42,000-square-foot building, with an interior connection to EatWell. All updates to the store are expected to be complete later this fall.
The company opened EatWell, a natural food store, by Schnucks, in 2020 after acquiring the space from Lucky’s Market. In addition to offering natural food items, EatWell also includes a focus on organic, local and specialty products.
Schnucks has served Columbia-area residents since 1970, and operates three locations in the city and an additional mid-Missouri store in Jefferson City.
Founded in St. Louis in 1939, Schnuck Markets is a third and fourth generation, family-owned grocery retailer that operates 112 stores, serving customers in Missouri, Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin and employing 12,000 people. The company annually donates more than $13 million in food to pantries and food banks.
